- Determine if all my students:
- have access to a smartphone during school hours
- have reliable internet access outside of school
- have access to a smart device outside of school
- Ask all students to:
- have a Google account (to make group collaboration seamless)
- sign-up for my Remind SMS texts
- download a QR code scanner/reader
- Use smartphones more in the classroom for:
- taking picts and videos of dissections
- tagging dissection picts and vids with common Twitter hashtag (#cbkinese?)
- Use QR codes for commonly accessed URLs:
- our classroom website
- our dissection Google Site
- this blog
- my Twitter page
- Start to flip "lectures" to free-up class time for case studies
- incorporate mini "case studies" as class openers (higher level thinking):
- students walk in, get into groups right away
- case study situation is posted on wall (chest pain or respiratory distress or pallor, etc...)
- groups use preexisting knowledge to brainstorm potential causes
- next day, groups investigate each of causes of the case and determines root cause, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatment
Now I just need summer to be extended by a month or two to get this done.
